Erm yeah I did but somebody locked me in. This time the lock broke, trapping me inside. Which serves me right for locking the door to my bathroom when I live by myself. And there's no window for to climb out of.

Okay all of that is a lie. I actually cottage on a regular basis. But I'm extremely shit at it seeing as I try it at my work and at home. Maybe I should move further afield next time.

Yeah
but it's one of those handles with the lock built in to it. I must have twisted it too hard when I locked it or something because the mechanism inside snapped.

the likelihood of me posting something upbeat is minimal, though I did get half of my roofspace insulated before I sprained my ankle.

Were your roofspace activites
and your subsequent sprain somehow connected?
(, Sun 26 Oct 2008, 18:19, Reply)
tentatively -
I was walking downstairs en route to the bin with a piece of old carpet I'd found in the roofspace and I missed the bottom step and landed on my ankle. I am still amazed I didn't put my leg through the ceiling at any point so a sprained ankle seems perfectly reasonable.

No Country For Old Men & John Carpenter's Vampires are fucking awesome. Wanted to see 3:10 but never got around to it ... I may make a list of films to watch on Tv links while I'm on leave.

Afer my sluggish start to the day I've been uber productive and cleared my (albeit tiny) garden. I've been giving it arsonist glees by burning a cockload of wood to clear out my potting shed.

It's Italian
my favourite in the city.

There's two of them on the same street, but the one I'm going to is better - staff are nicer and make the experience that much warmer. A tad expensive over the course of a meal, but they give you fresh made bread, and butter and everything is authentic Italian. Marvellous.

Kaol, just couldn't get into Tomahawk at all. Monster Magnet is more my type of thing

Greetings.

Moved into my new flat yesterday, and have spent the weekend buying things for it and exploring the area. The local bus-services can be best described as "Fuck me! That's convenient!".

When I was shown round by the estate agent, I believed my bed would come with bed-clothes, but had to spend my first night on a bare bed. The flat is a bit small, but not too small. It's cheap, includes bills, got everything I need and I like what's there.

There's currently no Internet access, and I can't connect to a local wifi-hotspot, but hopefully, I should get BT on my case soon.

If humans and flats could make babies, I would!!!

3 moths to this last week that I cut my antipsychotic dose by a third.. and I feel better!

I know you have a similar diagnosis to me and have come off this fucking bullshit psychiatry shit that I "have to take" according to my psychiatrist.. and she has legal rights to hospitalise me if I don't take what she says..

but seriously.. I'm feeling a lot better.. and more alive for not having my dopamine receptors blocked.. in fact I'm more positive about getting a job or at least having an honest chat with my parents and moving out somehow..

Fucking good job man,
Those fuckin' antipsychotics are pretty much evil incarnate.

I work as a graphic designer, but I'm what's described as "high functioning", and as such I don't really have an issue with keeping a job or any of that.

I'm pretty fucking lucky, to be honest, I know that a lot of people have it far, far worse than me.

My advice is:
1) Don't get sectioned.
2) Come off the antipsychotics slowly and smoothly
and
3) Don't be afraid to ask people if you need to talk. That includes me.

The favorite food of silverfish includes glue, book bindings, paper, photos, sugar, hair, and dandruff.

Silverfish will commonly graze in and around showers, baths, and sinks on the cellulose present in many shampoos, shaving foams and so on.

In extreme cases, silverfish may live for a year without eating.

Silverfish can be found anywhere in homes including, but not limited to, garages, closets, underneath beds, couches, electrical appliances such as keyboards and generally preferring dark areas.

Animal weirdness...
There's a parasitic worm that gets into snails.
Now this worm has to spend adult life in a bird to reproduce.
To ensure that it makes it from the snail to the bird, it alters the chemistry of the snail's brain, over-riding it's desire to hide by day.
It "makes" the snail go and sit in plain view of predators, and the snail gets eaten by a hungry bird.

The snail parasite is evil. Evil evil evil.
